atskooc 1,318 Report post Posted April 7 I just had a request for some Public Enemy at the junior high dance I'm DJing. I was impressed with that request (though I couldn't play it). I grew up on PE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micah Heibel fronted Brain Hammer, or as it says on their CD, "Micah Heibel - Sellin' it like a mother." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cipsucks 1,748 Report post Posted April 7 5 hours ago, cipsucks said: My Top Five, in no particular order. How can a parent love one child more than another.... Elton John. Devaney Center 1980. Opened the show with "Funeral For a Friend" Three Dog Night. Peony Park early 80's. All 7 original band members. Front row seats and beers were flowing. Sat next to Clay Michaels. (See if anyone remembers that name...) Jethro Tull. Civic Aud 81ish. Unfrickinreal. Bob Seger. PBA. Couple years ago. Saw him at Century Link a year or two before. Much better the 2nd time. He had health issues while in Omaha. Simon and Garfunkel with a special appearance by the Everly Brothers. Quest Center a year or so after it opened. Awesome seats. Awesome atmosphere. Awesome music. I knew I forgot a big one. Neil Diamond at the Civic Auditorium circa 1995. 1 1 Cazzie22 and Bugeaters1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But half of those were seriously entertained by the last working band I was in in the mid 80s. I really, really wanted "HaHa Death Camp". We wound up being Sid and the Four Skins...heh heh. And lasted for about 5 gigs. 1 jayschool reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
